Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Beth: Scaughdt, read your Bible! God has already passed judgment on this sin -- along with
other sexual sins … All brother Cyrus is saying is ―love the sinner not the sin‖ … GOD
condemned homosexuality … Read your Bible!!! It is an abomination, so don't keep attacking
Christians because they hold to the WORD of GOD!!!
Scaughdt: Thanks for your comment, Beth! While I in no way proclaim to be an authority on
such matters, if you would simply go back and read through any significant portion of
this thread, you would know that I am not necessarily the one herein who needs to read
their Bible …
And please note as well that I am not saying that a God of wrath & judgment doesn't
exist in the Scriptures. He (or more accurately ―they‖*) most certainly does ... I am simply
offering the equally valid (and actually irrefutable) Truth that there is indeed another God in the
Scriptures as well – namely the God; the all-Loving Father of Jesus Christ. And I am simply
encouraging all Christians to see this Truth; to test it for themselves (the Fruits of the two
interpretations are not even close!), and then to choose Jesus' heavenly Father of Love & Mercy
over Paul's imposter ―God‖ of wrath & judgment ... Peace to you & yours, my Sister!
(*Note that the word written as ―God‖ in most English translations of the Bible (from in Genesis
1:1 all the way through Exodus 3:14) is actually the Hebrew Elohim; a word which actually means
―GodS‖, being the plural of eloah. As such, this term more accurately refers to the fallen angels who
spend the vast majority of their time in the Scriptures posing as God -- doing their best to lead humankind
astray; a fact which explains why ―God‖ seems so immorally bipolar in the Old Testament.)
P.S. You cannot truly love a sinner by openly condemning him or her as the same. Love
doesn't work that way, Beth … And that is not merely my opinion. That is the opinion of Jesus
Christ himself, who very clearly wanted those who follow his way to keep their mouths shut and
their Hearts open when it came to sinners (Matthew 7:1-5); to spend their time cleaning their own
dirty cups before criticizing the smudges on the cups of others (Matthew 23:25-26)!
